The RAPS (regional air pollution study) helicopter air pollution measurement program, St. Louis, Missouri, 1974-76. Final report
This research program was initiated with the overall objective of providing measurement of air pollution and temperature gradient over the St. Louis, Missouri/Illinois, metropolitan area to complement surface measurements of air pollution by the Regional Air Monitoring System (RAMS) of the Regional Air Pollution Study (RAPS). This report describes in detail the helicopter data collection program and catalogs the missions flown by date, time, flight pattern and purpose. These data, collected on magnetic tape, are deposited in the RAPS data bank maintained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Sufficient examples are provided, with figures and tables, to enable the prospective users of these data to understand the measurements and their limitations and to facilitate usage of the data bank.
